Sounds to me like he's fairly content with where he's at. Maybe he just doesn't want to join the defensive dumpster fire down there and just wants to stick around with a HC that has a handle on how he wants to run his defense instead of wanting a system change with no clear candidate in mind?

Sorry gang, but there are rules in this here NFL. Your organization doesn't get to break them all.

The DBs (really just the CBs) are by far the worst position group on SF's D and let the rest of the team down. It's a shame you can't have him.
